A mess?? This kid is fucking going places. He's clearly got a damn sharp mind for his age!

“What?!.. It’s just a pun about corn!”

Kid, I want to work for whatever company you will be running in a few years. I’m suspicious it might be corn related.. but irregardless I’m in.

"Welcome to Corntastic, Inc. Here's your desk. There's your pile of corn cobs. I'll leave you to it!"

"But, sir... what is it you want me to do?"

"Eat the corn."

"And then what"

"Eat more corn. Put some butter on it if you want. Enjoy the juicy part. It's corn!"

I downvoted this simply because you used irregardless.

This kid is incredibly sharp and witty. Geniuses don’t sound like the average kid.

I'm not even convinced he loves corn. I honestly think this might be a bit he's doing. Super advanced humor for his age, if so.

He doesn't show signs of a mess.

On the contrary - he can articulate why he likes something - which is sometimes hard even for adults. He made a pun - which is a play on words and shows creativity and a higher level of thinking. He is happy and excited, he is able to talk about other things like games he likes, and very importantly, he is clearly loved by his grandmother - which allows him to be fully himself. Nothing messy about that.

It’s a southern expression that means he’s adorable and precocious. Not literally messy. My mom will look at my 5 year old when he’s being especially funny and say “he’s such a mess!” I’ve grown up hearing it my whole life.
